    Steel and wood?

    I have said it before, but ... Guns are supposed to be blue steel and wood, and holsters are leather, and I'm too old to change now. My blue steel and wood: S&W Model 19 Colt Detective Special (My EDC) Colt 1911 Ruger Single Six My only long guns are old single-barrel shotguns and an...

    The first handgun you purchased and why?

    My first handgun was a Llama 1911 in 45acp. It was in the 70s, and I bought it because it was available, affordable, and I knew the person I was buying from. Now, before all the Llama bashers come out, I will say yes, I know now that it isn't a quality gun, but I have owned that gun for over...

    Truck lock box

    Thanks for all the responses. Everyone seems to be on the same page. I think I'll just use a cable gun lock or the cable from the box to attach it to the seat and keep it out of sight. Thanks again for your help. spm

    Truck lock box

    Yes, the box is too short for a 6" bbl. And you're right, nothing will stop a determined thief. I think I may just cable it to and hide it under the seat. Thanks, spm

    Truck lock box

    I was sort of toying with this idea of just chaining it down and hiding it under the seat. Good suggestion. Thanks, spm

    Truck lock box

    I have been using the cabled-in lock box from Secure-it for my carry handguns, and they work fine. I am planning a trip into bear country and will be taking a 6" bbl revolver. I need a similar set up that will fit this size revolver, for when I don't need to have it with me. Any ideas...

    The Real Abercrombie & Fitch. Anybody Else Here Remember Them?

    Yes! I was just talking about this to a buddy last week. I used to travel to NYC regularly on business and would make it a point to go in and just look around. Great store. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. spm

    Colt 1908 Vest Pocket

    Old Fuff, I have a question about this model Colt and believe you to be the person to ask. The Colt 1908 Model N Vest Pocket looks like a mini 1911. It has an external safety and a grip safety. Is it safe to carry it cocked and locked, as a 1911? Thanks, s.

    S&W 19-4 and -5

    Since no one has mentioned this, I will ask. This guy was selling guns at a roadside table? I have never seen this ...anywhere. Where was this? Is this common in some parts of the country? spm

    Beautiful Guns

    Like others here, everything gets shot. That's what they were built for. Otherwise they are no longer a gun. Like having a muscle car and trailering it everywhere. What's the fun in that? spm

    Ditto. It's the way I was taught: "If you shoot it, clean it". spm

    How legit are places like gunbroker.com

    I don't have any experience with online sites other than Gunbroker, but GB is legit. I have purchased three guns and sold one through GB. Just do your due diligence with the seller. Check their feedback. I made it a point to avoid anyone with even one negative feedback and have not had a...

    How to sell (pistol) to buyer in other state?

    Yes you can. I sold a gun through GB and shipped it to a FFL in another state where the transfer was made. Come to think of it, it may have been Texas. If you do this, make sure you get the receiving FFL holders number and check legitimacy before shipping. You can do this online. Gunbroker...
